Weekend Update...

I had a very good weekend. The boy and I spent Friday night drinking a bit too much and playing poker at our friends house. I won the table but didn't collect. I felt sort of bad because everyone playing was very drunk and it just didn't feel right taking their money. After struggling a little Saturday morning, the boy and I ran errands all day and took the dog to the park for two hours. Then later that night we stuffed ourselves with veggie tempura (yum) and veggie sushi (double yum). On Sunday we went to this. We had such a good time just because auctions are fun and very easy to get swept up in. We didn't buy anything but we bid on the deck by Sergio Lindop. We got up to about $150.00 but couldn't go any higher. It is truly amazing how the community has rallied around the skate park. To our surprise, the bulk of the crowd at the auction was not skate kids but parents and their kids. Grindline was there and they were a riot. On a trip to the bathroom, I walked by the Grindline forman who said "Man she's tall" and proceeded to do a little jig singing "Look how tall she is, look how tall she is, and she's cute!" As he danced down the hall to the bathroom, two other grindliners joined in his little jig. There I was pinned between the wall and skatepark builders dancing and singing. It was a riot and awesome. All of you Athenians who have not gone out and supported any of SPOA's efforts really need to go out and check out the park. The Grindline forman himself said and I quote "We've never seen community support like this. We've built these guys the best park on the east coast...the country for that matter." This is huge for this town and I am very excited about the whole thing. For all of you single ladies out there, think about how many hot skate guys will be traveling to our fair city to skate that park. Now go out and support this damn thing!
